(Zaman Al Wasl- Video)- A mass grave for 42 moderate rebels found on Thursday in northern Khan Sheikhoun town in Idlib province, rescuing volunteer group said.
About 200 members of rebel factions were killed roughly by the ISIS-linked Jund al-Aqsa group that had killed roughly in Khan Sheikhou after they were taken captive during the clashes erupted two weeks ago in Hama and Idlib provinces.
They had been arrested and held captive for six days during clashes that broke out in the area, in the increasingly bloody infighting between different militant groups.
Civil defense workers expected new mass graves in the town.
Dozens of those executed were members of a Free Syrian Army (FSA) faction, Jaish al-Nasr.
Abdul Hakim al-Rahmon, head of Jaish al-Nasr's political wing, confirmed that 70 fighters from the group were executed eight days ago, vowing to attack in response.
He said more than 160 FSA fighters were killed in total, plus another 43 from Tahrir al-Sham - which includes the former al Qaeda branch in Syria, Jabhat Fateh al-Sham - who had been killed immediately after the militants stormed a court run by Tahrir al Sham in the same area.
"They were all liquidated at the same time," he said.
Jund al-Aqsa fled to Raqqa, ISIS de facto capital, last week after a deal brokered by Ahrar al-Sham movement to end bloodshed.
